It Is asserted ulsa with what (ruth we c.iunot say that the railroads will soon be trans fdrred to tho Central Pacific company, or to tho same peron wlio control that corpora tion In California. It is to ba hoped that any change will bo moro satisfactory than Mr. Uolladay'a administration of our rail to&d Interest, for while we do not claim that tlio roads themselves have boon un rsiksouably managed to the detriment of the public Interests, since their construction, Mill it Is beyond doubt that Mr. Uolladay has thrown discredit on Orogon railroad inter est", and has Improved or misimproved his opportunities to control our politics and establish sundry monopolies. All the peo plu ask Is that tlio?o great public enterprise! hhall be LoiH'wtlj' coustructed and fiirly managed. We liopo their management will never again bo disgiaced by an attempt to manipulate legislation and cjntrol partUuu politics.

It has been commenced, and we understand Is temporarily discontinued until the newly appointed routu agents can bo properly sworn iiraud givo bonds. Now it strikes us that the discontinuance might as well be permanent, not because we gtudge- the ac commodation thus rendered to the towns irom Albany to Portland, for we are our selves thereby as much accommodated ts others, and should poruonully inuchlikoto have the arrangement continue aud b per manent, but our reasons aro as followm In tlio lir.it place the postal department does not much more than half xay expenses, the dedcienoy lor tho last llitil year btiug over S9,COO,000, llipreforo economy should bo studied in this, mid n thousand other ex penbes that ultimately hr.vo to comuoutof tho peoples Dockets.

About sixteen mouths ago the sheep-breed-lug world of Amend was awakened lo a considerable degree of Interest by an an rounc3mcnt of tho shearing of p.n extraordi narily heavy fleece from a French Merino ram, tho property of Mrs. Itnbort Blacow of California. The flcco was of f,uoh n weight es to stagger tho believing powers of many breoJors on the Allan ic lde, cotne of whom openly expressed their incredulity in tho columns of the National Live Stock Journal. ilho Editor of that ppucr, with a praisewor thy desire to have his readers correctly In formed, proenred the fleece, and submitted It to the Illinois Wool Grower's Association. The fleece weighed, when given Into the hands of a Committee of that Association no lbs., but nt sneering bad weighed 51K lbs., and was cliltncd to be the growths of about sixteen months. The folio ving is tho report ol the committee, and the Live Stock Jour nal's remarks thereon, together with other to-ited fleeces, which are submitted to Interest ed readers with only this remark. It is to be be regretlod that when so much pslns is taken in the interost ol truth that all the cir cumstances aro not gien with precision, for iu3t,'nce, in this case, why could not tho exact llvo weight of Mrs. Macon 'n sheep beou given and tho exact tlmo tlio fleece's growth and that of tlio others in tho tabU", nud then tho value of the cleansed wool as set by a disinterested committeo ot manulac- Hirers? J. Mi.nio. YourcunmUte appointed to clnnuse and report upon tlin Califnrni i fleece, beg to re port: The we'gat of Heeco uetoro scouring was BOlpnunds. It was put turougn two selves. The first reduced weight to 13t pounds. It was not clean. Wo ordered tlio second, end it is now well scoured. Tlio present weight is just 12 pound;. .vet the committeo believe there nre two pounds of burs in it now. The appearanco of tho wool is much coarser than before scouring, and is very uneven not in sny way a desirable wool In rai'e. Wo do not recommend anv flock-master to bit id Irom such stock, let his flock liu line or coarse. The wool, wben free of burs, not worth over 55 eentsa pound In a clean state, while a pood Merino wool would bo worth S." cents. The cost, of keep is according to weight of carcass. The ram that cut this tlspce Is very large for a French ram supposed by thoso who have seen him to wt.ighner300'pouuds. His flpvco, when clean, sat ton pounds, at 55 cents per pound is worth ?5 50. An American Moriuo ram's fleece, sooured S pounds, atthe sunw place carcass IbG pounds. Thi, at c5'0&ntti per lb isguso lilyiug aprerenci lo tlio latter ot $1.30 iu'tlaece alone. Yet there is moredif- lereuce iu too keepin-r, and that W an object hero, but not so union in California (Signed) DANiiUi.KuLiaJY, Chairman. Mr. Kelley stated. .when submitting (lie re port, that ho had been unnbloiogot together tho committee appointed by the Association and be' u ooninsdltut tocl! in.tho assistance of Jonathan TcllV, of Du Pago enmity, Ills., who Jiarl wltn Himself slgnoj ine report. It is to be regretted tbtir.. the committee wen. not mors careful iu guiiffitig against a shov of the parl'ality that Illinois breeders nro Kuown in emertnin m uyor oi ttio Amer lenu or Improved Spunish Merino over hK Krfiieh cousin. While we-havo uo doubt tho coruinitten was perfectly horest In Its con clusions, it wm una mat uie wording ot tuo report will prove a bid foi utltielsm thatsonio friend of tho Vi-etrch Merino is suro to nccej t. From h pietly rarotnl eHiiiiiiiitlon of t!-ji Srin'O boforoKcbiiring, wk aror.t opinion that the comimttsii plces the v.ight of burs too high, one pound being probably on extreme estimate. We hr.v re quosted samples of th.e flefleo before aud alter securing both lioai t!i binrics-t and cleanest porlions and when theso are rocaived we. may rtforto thosuject again. It is proper to stmo that vcbon the fleece was received by us it weighed 51- pounds as reported, nud the difference betweon that weight and the weight reported by the com mitteo before scouring (50 lbs ) is duo to the removal of samples; about eleven ounces of the M'ry best wool having been taken out by oursolves before surrendering ilia Ueoce to Ihe committee, and othor sumples were is moved previously. The shrinkage shown bj tho report ol the couunitleo is V(i pir cent, of tho gross weigh'; und in thU connection it may nut be uninlere''ng (o reptoduro fiom tho last Ns'io, tlio fobowltjg leport of tho lcsnlts of nli'o tarns' lift ets scoured imdar tho super-vi-ion cf WlsonsIii aeourlnsii may not have beuu so rigorously executed.
